2. Of the Positive Blessedness of the Pardon of Sin.
Secondly, Positively, he's a blessed man whose sins are forgiven, if we consider, the excellency of that mercy God makes that soul partaker of, whose sins are forgiven, Dan. 9.9. To thee Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, forgiveness is the fruit of glorious mercies, Exod. 34.6. The Lord is merciful and gracious, long suffering and abundant in goodness and truth, keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity. Now I shall open this positively, and show the riches of mercy in forgiveness of sin. When the Scripture applies mercy to forgiveness of sin, it hath divers expressions, sometimes calls it riches of mercy, Ephes. 1.7. sometimes, plenteous mercy, Psal. 86.8. sometimes, Gods fullness of compassion, Psal. 78.38. sometimes, multitude of mercies, Psal. 51.1. I might give divers other places, but those may suffice; it is rich, plenteous, fullness of compassions, and multitude of mercies; When God forgives sin, he shows mercies in all these expressions. For the opening of it unto you, I shall show you what abundance of mercy God shows in the forgiveness of sin, consider merry 1. in the Efficient. 2. in the final cause of it.
